Explanation

B begins the sequence as it highlights the thought discussed in this para jumble - 'Jesus in Kashmir'. B is followed by E as 'he' in E refers to 'Jesus' in B. As D points out the trouble, thus, it follows E, which in turn is followed by A as it provides an example to support the view in D. Hence, (3) is the answer.
